Overview
- The bout at Miami's Kaseya Center ended in round six when referee Chris Young halted the fight after a decisive right hand, in a globally streamed event on Netflix.
- Jake Paul posted radiographs showing a double jaw fracture and issued a provocative message to Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez, writing, “Give me Canelo in 10 days.”
- Paul said he underwent surgery at Miami University Hospital and now faces a recovery measured in weeks, based on typical timelines for such injuries.
- The contest used special terms—an eight-round limit, 10-ounce gloves, and a 245-pound cap for Joshua—who outweighed Paul by about 27 pounds and carried far greater elite experience.
- Purse figures remain disputed, with a widely cited $184 million total contrasted by Paul’s $267 million claim, as WBC president Mauricio Sulaimán defended the event and Deontay Wilder questioned its legitimacy.
